Q1.
True or False: You should always walk on the footpath.
Answer
True
Rule 3 says, “Footpaths are meant for pedestrians. Always walk on them and stay away from moving vehicles.”
Why: The footpath is raised above the road and no vehicle comes on to it. That is why it is the safe place to walk.
Q2.
True or False: It is safe to run while crossing the road.
Answer
False
Rule 2 says, “Never run across the road. It’s safer to walk calmly!”
Why: When we run we may slip and fall in the middle of the road. A running child is also harder for a driver to judge. Walking calmly lets us keep looking at the traffic all the way across.
Q3.
True or False: You should use the zebra crossing to cross the road.
Answer
True
Rule 1 says, “When you need to cross the road, look for a black and white strip which is known as ‘Zebra Crossing’.”
Why: The black and white strip is painted so that drivers can see it from far away. Drivers know that people cross there, so they slow down.
Q4.
True or False: Wearing dark clothes in the evening makes you more visible.
Answer
False
Rule 5 says, “If you are walking on a road in the evening, stick some reflective stickers on your clothes, so that the drivers can see you clearly.”
Dark clothes do the opposite. In the evening the light is low, and dark clothes mix with the dark around them.
Why reflective stickers work: A reflective sticker sends light back. When the headlight of a car falls on it, it shines brightly. The driver sees you from far away and slows down.
Tip: The word in the sentence that makes it false is dark. Change it and the sentence becomes true: “Wearing reflective stickers in the evening makes you more visible.”
Q5.
True or False: It is safe to play near the road.
Answer
False
Rule 6 says, “Do not play or get distracted near roads.”
Why: Vehicles are moving on the road all the time. While playing, our eyes and mind are on the game, not on the traffic. That is when accidents happen.
Q6.
True or False: You should wear headphones while walking on the road.
Answer
False
Rule 6 says, “avoid using headphones or mobile phones while walking near traffic. These can distract you from traffic sounds.”
Why our ears matter on a road: We do not see everything. A horn, a bell or the sound of a bus tells us that a vehicle is coming, even before we see it. Headphones cover that sound.
Tip — remember the six answers: True, False, True, False, False, False. The three “always do it” sentences are true. The three “it is all right to be careless” sentences are false.
